Try FSU again, it should "just work", at least the build part. It's
not that complex.

I sympathize, really. It's a lot of overcomplicated, Linux-heavy stuff
out there. It's not easy. Half the stuff I try to build never works,
and I'm always scratching my head wondering why.

Well, it's just easier when you know what is active, esp. because
sometimes they don't play well together.

You mean cross compiler? In theory, it could be built, but nobody has
bothered (or at least nothing public that I've noticed). I know FPC
built a DJGPP-COFF BinUtils cross package, but that's only half the
tools you need.

Anyways, DJGPP apps can use long cmdlines between themselves, at
least, e.g. Make or Bash. Try running commands under one of those, and
it should help. But no, Windows doesn't support long cmdlines for DOS
programs, sadly.
